FOUR BEAR STORIES.

A bear weighing 800 pounds was killed on
Flint river, near Albany, Ga, by the citizens,
who never saw bear in that neighborhood
before.
Daniel O'Connell, of Stamford. Vt, was
attacked by a bear near North Adams, Mass,
and was being badly worsted when his dog
interfered and he managed to escape. The
dog has not been seen since.
y man was going over the Rocky noun
tains for pine logs, driving wagon. On the
top of a large log by the side of the road was
young bear, the mother having started up
the mountain on the approach of the team.
The cub not moving, the mother came
bounding back to it. and giving it nudge
with her nose started up the mountain again,
expecting the cub to follow But the little
one made no move. The old bear then came
back the second time, and taking up the cub
in her paws, gave him several cuffs The cub
then obeyed orders and followed the old bear
in a gnllop up the side of the mountain.
a passenger train on Florida railroad
stopped some fifteen miles from Cedar Key to
prevent a collision with some cattle, when a
black bear came trottng leisurely out of the
woods, climbed upon the platform of a car,
and entered the express room, where he found
three strings of fish and some bacon, all Of
which went quickly into his NAV. When the
train started up the swaying of the car shut
the door. The bear soon became tired of his
ride, and looked about for means of egress.
Nothing looked SO vulnerable to attack as the
windows in the side of the car, which were
protected by iron rods about half inch in
diameter. He selected one of these, caught
two or three OF the iron rods with his paws,
and giving them n hing broke and twisted
